The Rise Of The Stupid

1.Charlie

I'm pretty new at this so, I hope you enjoy even though it's NOT gonna be so perfect.😊

Charlie

Sometimes....I wish I could forget. Just runaway and forget.
I'm always running, right? I wish I could smile or laugh, they always seem fake. I feel forced . It seems like the world always has a way of getting back at you.

"Charlie, I said it'd only be until you move out." My mom tries holding my hand as we race down to our new home. She manages to pull me out of my trance with her hypnotic voice.
I pull my head away from the window.
"It's fine. I'm used to it." It's not fine. It hurts, I just want time to figure out WHO and.. WHAT I am.
She pushed back a piece of my Black hair.
I'm Charlie King Jones, a....I Guess typical 15 year old. My dad died in a scientific experiment when I was 7. It's basically been just me, my mom, and the open freeway. It's hard to live a normal live a normal life when your dad is known as "The Man Who Turned The World To Hell".
   You've heard of Iron-man and blah blah blah, And Thor, The Avengers. Well...after my dad's experiment killed them and HIM,  everything is practically Shit. It's as if the world could break and blow away at any second.  Yeah...lots to catch up on.

  "Charlie! Look at me when I am speaking." Uhhh....yeah. Ok?
  "Stop getting distracted. Sometimes I worry that something is wrong. You can talk to me." Can I really? Let's face it, you can't technically talk to your parents about every fucking thing. It's like...you tap another car; they flip, You get detention: you get murdered, Or if you get caught talking to a girl: Embarrassment. Cause....lets face it, I DONT EVEN LIKE THEM!

   "Mom, I'm fine." I put on my strongest, yet Fake smile to reassure her.
  "Good. Now, get some sleep. It'll be a while before we get to our house." She pats my shoulder as I lean against the window.

  We slowly creep from the city side to the country side, miles and miles of tall Corn stalks.
   The Colours blur together at the speed of the old ragged down, blue, Camry. It's like waves of an ocean, pretty soothing.

  Before I know it.....I'm passed out.

  "Charlie! Hurry, help me unpack the car." My mom pops her head in the car door as she closes it.
My eyes flutter open and I sling my head up, slamming it on the roof.
  "Shit!" I mumble lines of swears.
I get a good look at the house, taking my breath away.
   It's not like those typical cookie cutter homes, more like a ranch styled home with large fields.
   "How...much was this house again?" I blankly ask my mom, grabbing one of my boxes from the trailer.
  "Sorry, but I think it's already to late to return the house if you don't like it."
"No no no no. It's perfect, I love it Mom." Shaking my head, I follow her inside.
   We set mountains of boxes down inside.
  "Take a look." She nudges me around.
   "You sure?"
"Yeah, no....I got it. Go." She waved me off and I'm upstairs before she can change her mind.
  The upstairs walls painted a light shade of brown but it just has a relaxing feeling to it.
  I open the first door, a bathroom.
I'm a stunned back by the ugly, red and Blue tiles all around the tub walls.
    I quickly shut that door, surprised. Walking to the second door on this hall, I'm hoping it won't be as bad as the first.
  A bedroom, baby blue walls with the stars as the ceiling. Woah nelly!
   Walking to the third door, its locked.
   Huh?

   "Charlie! Come meet our new neighbors!" My mom yells from down the ugly, carpeted stairs.

   A young woman and man, maybe in their thirties...stare at me as I walk down stairs.
  "He's so handsome and older than I thought." The woman turns to my mom. I give a wary look.
  "Hey, Charlie. I used to work with your dad. You probably don't remember us. I'm Danni and that's my wife, Alexa." The man points to his Wife and speaks as if answer to my odd facial expressions.

  "Uhhh...." The fuck?
"Oh...I'm sorry. It's too much?"
"No no no. I'm just..you knew my Father?" I assure Alexa that she wasn't a burden.
Danni opens his mouth but some guy, looking around my age, runs out of a truck and up to them.

  You can tell that they are all one family, the guy looks just like Alexa.
  "Oh, this is my Son, Ethan." The guy seems shy and has kinda fluffed up, sweaty, dirty blonde hair.
  I smile.
"You boys go talk." Our parents send us away together, my mom has no idea.

   Ohhhh shit! Fuck Fuck Fuck!

We run upstairs and set in the blue room.
  "So, what are you?" Ethan speaks, a sort of British yet southern accent peeping in his voice.
   "What...uh...what do you mean?" I question.
  "Nevermind. I just figured...." He looks down at the lightly stained hardwood flooring.
   "Hey, we can be friends. One bad mistake doesn't mean the world ends." I try to cheer him up, touching his arm.

But...like usual, everything is ruined and his Mom just had to call him down.

   "See you at school tomorrow? Maybe I could pick you up?" He turns in my doorway as he shuts it, I nod. He was so...hot. Just the way he mad me feel.

How would touching his arm Cheer him up!? I'm so stupid! Ugh!

At dinner, mom asks me an odd question.
"So....Ethan seems suspicious? I can just tell that boy isn't right. Are you sure you want to keep hanging with him?"
"Why not?" I stop eating, looking at my mom.
You would never be able to actually tell I dated men...don't get me wrong, if date women but....they want too much.
"Because. He gives off weird vibes."
"Mom, that's odd. To me....it kinda felt like we were...I don't know. Linked. If that makes sense?"
She stares blankly, as if she knows something I don't.
"Mom?"
"Huh?" She looks back at Me.
"Uhhh....I'm gonna.....go upstairs." I take my plate and wash it in the sink before slipping away.
    I start feeling a burning in my chest.
Then a shock in my head.
  Maybe some sleep will help it.
   As I stare at the star filled ceiling, I popped into darkness.

Ok...soooo.....what do you think? Mysterious people? Anything you think could be improved or added to make it a little....zazzle?
